There aren’t many miles between steaming cheese spätzle and the very best Wiener schnitzel. Yet there are worlds between them. From Bregenzerwald to the Vienna Alps, we travel through a country we travel through a country that carries its traditions into the present. Often in lederhosen.

Through lush green landscapes and cosy Stuben, over mountain passes and along panoramic roads. Where craftsmanship is part of everyday culture, as is the art of cooking. And architecture offers fresh perspectives on the mountains. Between Belle Époque and Brutalism, we encounter grand histories and small eccentricities. And the emperor is never too far away. Every so often, a dip in blue water. What beauty this country holds.

A journey from the present back to the days when people set off by carriage in search of the fountain of youth. To places where time seems to stand still as the world turns. And a little something along the way: Kaiserschmarrn with Zwetschgenröster. Servus.
